Time to Play: Be the Moonbat

[SSG Snuggle Bunny]

We've all heard the tired canard, "al Qaeda wasn't in Iraq until after Bush launched his war. Then they went in so we are stuck there because of the terrorists Bush created."

Of course, this ignores the reams of evidence to the contrary that Saddam offered material and logistical support to not only AQ but other anti-US terror groups thus tucking him comfortably within the causa belli of the Sept 18, 2001 AUMF vs terrorists and the states that sponsor them.

But here is my question to the moonbats including the presumed democrat presidential nominee:

As AQ was so recently routed from its bases in Afghanistan, and considering the monetarily and materially ciumbsersome of insurgent warfare why would AQ expend so much in terms of personnel and resources fighting for a regime it presumably hated for its secular bent? Why follow the US into Iraq when its very survival was at stake in Afghanistan? What's the strategic pay-off for AQ and has it materialized?

Let me see... if I were a moonbat (trying to be convincing until our very own forum moonbat appears - TNO  ). I would have to first make the argument that terrorists are rational people. Oh, now I'm stuck.

[Duke Nukum]

Obviously for the free candy bars and stockings American GI's are known to have and give out freely.

[Mr Mannn]

If I were a moonbat, I would ignore the question, call you names, and demand a tomb-stoning.

Thats how moonbats respond to tough questions.

Oh, and I would end by questioning your patriotism, and demanding that no one dares question mine. Then I would make a derogatory statement expressing hatred towards America.

Then I would leave the computer in a huff. get drunk. come back, and react in sheer outrage that Skinner hasn't locked the thread!
 
following would be a series of profanity laced posts that have little to do with reality, let alone your original question. I would loudly announce you were on my ignore list and stalk every post you make, claiming you were some sort of freeper troll.

Stomp away from the computer. refuse to tip the Pizza guy. insult him for no reason. argue with my parents about getting a job. Stomp back down to the cellar.

and react in horror that the OP is still an open thread. Curse Skinner!
taking long swigs from a whiskey bootle, i would then go all Will Pitt, finally falling asleep at the computer, pissing on myself.

The last words I utter before I passed out would be..."Bush's Fault!"

[Attero Dominatus]

If I were a moonbat, I would claim that all evidence that proves Saddam was involved with Al Queda was fabricated by the evil rethugs.

[DumbAss Tanker]

We're talking about people who argue MIHOP vs. LIHOP.  The analysis you are seeking is far deeper than anything within their comprehension, even to come up with an obviously-wrong answer.

OK, kids. I know it's fun to poke fun at them...like poking beached jellyfish...but I'm SERIAL.

Surely they must have SOME rationale, even an erroneous one.

I don't know snuggles ( <- just because). It's hard for a rational mind to wrap itself around terrorists, much less terrorist apologists. I think moonbats have great difficulty recognizing and acknowledging that pure evil exists and that terrorists are nihilists. One only has to look at some of their moral equivalency arguments comparing Bush to Hitler or Bush to Saddam.

Indeed, gracious lady.

The best moonbattness I hav surmised would run something like this:

"AQ seized on US hubris knowing it would be locked into an extended guerilla war. By feeding the anti-US insurgency AQ could bleed the US a slow death politically and financially allowong it to capture territory and/or diminish US power."

Of course that begs: How could AQ hope for a political victory except by that supplied by the moonbats? If they sought to reduce US power they could pick any battlefield rather than moving thousands of miles from Afghanisan to Iraq. If they wanted territory--any territory but simply chose Iraq as a target of opportunity--then the AQ fight was inevitable so that makes Iraq a twofer.

You're solid gold, I think you nailed it. AQ proved in 9/11 that they could use our own freedoms against us. What's to stop them from exploiting our moonbat media aka the 5th column?

AQ showed up in Iraq as a tool of the Iranian and Syrian regiems.
An enemy may have many names and wear many coats but the bottom line is that they are still an enemy.

Whether it be AQ by name or islamofacisim in general the desire is the same...to kill all that don`t submit and the USA is their poster child for that.
